    Liquidation or Northampton?

    ACL will reject the CVA there is no doubt about that. What that means though im not sure. The league have proved themselves pretty spineless so I think they would simply hand the golden share to holdings who would carry on with their pipe dream of a new stadium plan whilst playing at Sixfields.

    Northampton Sky Blues

    They are dead to me as well. Even if by some miracle they do come back to the Ricoh im not sure I could continue to support them whilst SISU remain in charge and ACL - who are fairly guilty as well in my eyes - are running the stadium. For me to come back and make the mammoth round trip to Cov...

    Leaving the Ricoh is the correct decision if.....

    Building a new stadium in Cov will never happen. It could never compete with the Ricoh in terms of conferencing and concerts so how much income a new smaller stadium would bring us is very debatable. I think everyone can see that the only solution is for one single entity to own the club and...

    Newco Coventry

    I believe for this scenario to come about both holdings and Limited would have to be liquidated. As has already been said, if ltd only is liquidate the league will surely just award the golden share to holdings in order to complete the fixtures for this season. Its too late in the day to do...

    I talked to B.C.F.A re. phoenix club.

    I have been saying this for ages. They must be filtering money through us somehow (and making on the deal) otherwise they would not be so desperate to keep hold of us. There is undeniably something more to it.

    Speedway Stadium Land

    Would indeed be very sad, a team of which Cov can actually be proud. I hadn't realised they were at risk as thought it was only the land up for sale, not the team itself.

    A new club would be starting from the very bottom of the league ladder though, its how you keep people interested long enough to build your way into a decent league. Not short of other teams in the Midlands that people can go and watch. Not saying its a bad idea but it has to be planned...

    Speedway Stadium Land

    I thought the idea was to build adjacent to the speedway not on top of it? Its been a while since ive been to the speedway but from what I recall its a fairly big patch of land and i've not heard anything about the Bee's relocating elsewhere.

    So, you'd rather go to the ricoh?

    But it doesnt change anthing, the next week SISU FC are back playing at Northampton again and we are doing nothing. It takes the pressure off. If there is no alternative then your average fan who just wants to watch his team play might well go to Sixfields. It plays in to their hands. I have...

    So, you'd rather go to the ricoh?

    A one off event won't do it and wheres the attraction for ACL to allow it if it isn't going to be repeated?

    So, you'd rather go to the ricoh?

    If City do go to play at Sixfields Sphinx could very well find themselves with a sudden influx of new fans.

    So, you'd rather go to the ricoh?

    This is my point, it needs to be a whole raft of things going on, not just a kick about or just the radio. It needs to be a whole day out. Somewhere you can go on a saturday with the whole family and have some fun for little outlay.

    If they get their stadium built in the next couple of years then they stand a chance. If not, the crowds will continue to drop and they will fold. Bury have their own financial problems and Gigg Lane is suffering as a result, its not a nice place to go at the moment.

    Jordan Clarke back in the fold

    Your probably right, but we now have a situation where he has had to go back to him cap in hand, which given we cant sign anyone new is not ideal.

    Jordan Clarke back in the fold

    Maybe so. I just dont think it was wise to exclude any of our senior players whilst embargoed. I dont think he can afford to limit our options in that manner.

    Fan owned club

    Yes but I think it remains to be seen how well it works with Pompey. A lot of the funding has been borrowed from their council and a few wealthy fans. If they don't get success straight away and go back up the leagues they could easily find their crowds dwindling. The Coventry situation is...

    Fan owned club

    FC United are fading fast, a friend of mine played for them in their early days and is still connected with them and the crowds are really dwindling. Still big issues with building their new stadium too. Wimbledon have done well but then their situation was unique, they were the first team in...

    not if the club are intending to get a fee for you you dont. Pressley made a statement that he didnt have the right attitude to be a pro-footballer

    Fan owned club

    Sphinx could always offer a fan-share listing scheme, raise investment and become the fan owned club that people seem to want. I just feel that these fan-owned clubs start enthusiastically but then fade as interest drops. People get bored.

    Jordan Clarke back in the fold

    He wasnt just told he wasnt wanted though, he was publicly criticized and made to train away from the first team. I dont think he would struggle to get another club either.
